    I am really surprised that those top executives had not slipped away quietly under the cover of darkness & returned to the father land by U-boat. Figured they'd now be in zee bunker smoking cigars, drinking beer & laughing about what was pulled off for years.

    Or just maybe they pulled the short straw & are going to go down with the ship. Sacrificial VW lambs to the slaughter.

    He should have snuck across the border with some coyote travel agents into Mexico....

    You know.... Before the wall goes up that Mexico is going to build (Wonder is there is something in the agreement about tunnels?) :D

    The electric grid in the US is not very robust as it is, especially during the hot summer months when all of the AC's start kicking in...

    Imaging the additional electric load that will burden the grid as more and more plug-in EV's are introduced in the coming years...

    Electric does not equal clean.

    A coworker of mine bought a Nissan Leaf. He would tell anyone who would listen that he drove a zero emissions vehicle. Every time I heard that I reminded him that his clean electricity came from a coal burning power plant. Yep your car is clean, but the folks near the power plant get to breath your emissions.
